I was working as a shift leader with one worker, the dayshift called in and the general manager was cussing me out in front of customers and employee that showed up. I was trying to do the customer part of job when he was doing this. And I went to clockout and he said that if i clocked out and went home to never come back to work. 5 years later, i apply to new jobs from time i was fired up until today, but everyone says i am on the no hiring list. Is this legal and if not then how do i go about getting closure on this issue and off the no hiring lists?

There is no "no hire list", but when a company calls your former employer for a reference, they can tell them that you're not elligible for rehire. They shouldn't give a negative reference, but they can state they would not rehire you. It's perfectly legal.

In the U.S. it is legal for an employer to give truthful information about you to a prospective employer if you sign an authorization release statement. I would advise you to call up the H.R. department or office manager for that company and find out why are on the no hire list with them and is there any way you can clear up your name for future employers.

I doubt if you are on any kind of a no hire list. I do not believe one exists, at least in the US. Employers cannot give out much more information than whether or not you worked there, your last position held, and your rate of pay. Occasionally they will say if they would re-hire you or not, but even that is a stretch. Who is "everyone" that is telling you there is a no hire list? I would start looking at yourself, your skills, your appearance and your attitude to find the real cause.

Since we really do not know the situation from both sides and most of us are not legal people, I suggest that you contact a lawyer and ask them. You usually can get a lawyer for one free consultation and that is all you need to find out if it is sue worthy. If it isn't, the lawyer can at least help you get your name cleared up.
